Restaking
Redefining digital asset security for the restaking era
Globally trusted since 2013
We are thrilled BitGo has so deeply integrated EigenLayer into their custody solution, giving more institutions access to all that EigenLayer has to offer, while ensuring their assets are protected by the industry's leading qualified custodian.
Key outcomes
BitGo’s collaboration with EigenLayer allows institutional clients to manage their digital assets securely while participating in EigenLayer’s restaking ecosystem.
Secure custody solutions
BitGo provides institutional-grade protections with segregated, bankruptcy remote accounts, ensuring that clients' assets are safeguarded.
Comprehensive staking services
The integration supports native EIGEN custody and staking, as well as ETH restaking, all within BitGo's trusted platform. This unified approach simplifies the staking process for institutional clients.
Continuous reward generation
By restaking ETH and staking EIGEN, clients can continually earn rewards, maximizing the utility of their assets without compromising on security.
Access to vetted AVS operators
Clients can choose from a curated list of AVS operators vetted by BitGo, including industry leaders like Figment, Blockdaemon, Kiln, and P2P. This selection process allows institutions to make informed decisions and optimize their staking strategies.
The challenge
EigenLayer is a pioneering platform in the Ethereum ecosystem that introduces the concept of "restaking." Traditional staking involves users committing their ETH holdings to validate transactions and secure the Ethereum network, earning rewards in return. EigenLayer extends this model by allowing users to "restake" their staked ETH to secure additional decentralized protocols, known as Actively Validated Services (AVS). This innovative approach enables users to earn additional rewards while contributing to the security of multiple networks.
As EigenLayer sought to expand its restaking services to institutional clients, it faced the challenge of ensuring that these clients could participate securely and compliantly. Institutional investors require robust custody solutions that offer both security and regulatory compliance. EigenLayer needed a trusted partner to provide such a solution, enabling institutions to engage in ETH restaking and EIGEN token staking with confidence.
The conclusion
The partnership between EigenLayer and BitGo represents a significant advancement in institutional staking solutions. By combining EigenLayer's innovative restaking capabilities with BitGo's secure custody services, institutional clients can now participate in the decentralized finance ecosystem with enhanced security and confidence. This collaboration not only broadens access to restaking opportunities but also sets a new standard for institutional engagement in the digital asset space.
Working with BitGo wasn’t just about custody—it was about unlocking institutional-grade access to the next era of Ethereum infrastructure. BitGo makes restaking viable and scalable for the largest players in the space.
